Shatter too the throat of mockingbird With hoarse cries of raucous astilbe planted blue Among the rushes where crows gather in a murder Of slow vowels murmured too loud that they not be heard As a rate of greed begins to feud loudly with the jay One sly moment golden sang as finches Coat the larynx with smooth notes that swallowed Heal the broken cords without knots That bind the chorus to the melody Come too chickadee in minuets of wings To rest upon slender tendril of fleshy leaf Along the margin written in chrysanthemums are rhymes Feathers caught in stems hold thin quills shed As a break of movements mock again The shards of voice that found in repose Mock too the noise of choking grey clothes Mockingbird sings songs not her own but wears Plain robes to dance atop the tree Look too at me Look to want me She sings encased in glassine days the songs To whom It no longer matters belong Clef songs sung a tedium of more Crack the wings along thin sinews And shoulders ache to lift finger close to lips A hushed whisper of words revealed by gaping wounds of neck Shattered throat begins to bleed the second verse Parsed into frames of vellum the choir of sage embossed In silver threaded script Finds curves to follow the rise and fall of wind Sing softly in the coming eve Mock me not the meanings beneath Images of dark stretched trees against the moon She sings to stars Her dance to night repeated No time to grieve the flesh or broken wings Bare audible cries to coming fall The leaves turn From green to gold To red Against the blue |

Wading in wonderous whirpooling images soaking up scribbles dipped from a dream... Enjoyed sir, as always. ebm |

there are parts of this that erupt in sudden rage ...though the cooing notes that run beneath it attempt to lull....I can certainly feel the music crescendos in your deep and vivid descriptions, Chief~~~~ heart racing stuff, for sure~*~*~ xoxoxox |

Nothing new in this piece to you Belle... recycled from some time back as you well know.. rage... yes there is rage in it and an undertone of softness that many won't see... your eyes see more than most, when it comes to words and my own brand of insanity... thank you.... for the comment and for looking in.. it is always appreciated |
